I went to the last 2 Nationals there and they were great and well attended. Outstanding waterfront. Also went to an Orioles game. It is an 8 hr drive for me but I would gladly go back there.

Baltimore's violence issues are largely limited to specific areas of the city and do not impact any of the major conventions that happen here. It's a city like any other...there is lots of good and bad, with its fair share of political issues.
With that said, the National is missing out on a great location, as you know based on your quote. The area around the convention center has everything someone could want...great sports venues, casino, great restaurants, lots of hotels, the waterfront, etc. Not too far from the airport. Easy to get in and out of the city.
Hopefully, it will come back!
